"Change can happen," says Trócaire CEO, Caoimhe de Barra, to advance qualified women in leadership, but it is necessary to realize that the challenges women face are great, and that long-standing societal concepts must be broken down.
The two-day event was organized by Caritas Internationalis, in partnership with the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to UNESCO.Trócaire is the Church in Ireland's overseas development agency, operating in up to 20 of the world's most fragile countries.. “At present, all around the world, even in the countries with the highest degree of equality, women face discrimination in all walks of life, whether that is in the workplace, whether that is in public policy and participation in politics or in any facet that you can imagine.”She noted that this phenomenon is exacerbated depending on where one looks.
"These social norms," he said,"effectively determine the space that women have to safely decide to step out and to challenge what society expects of them."
